In OpenStudio 1.5.3, there is a comment under Utility Rates tab to import your utility rates under the Measure tab. Under the Measure tab, no link to import utility rates. In Online BCL, no measure to import utility rates. Perhaps I'm missing something...
Check out this EnergyPlus measure on the BCL. It includes Xcel Energy tariffs but can be customized to include others.
Was able to use this measure and tweak to allow for time of use rates (for Ontario)
Does anyone know of a tutorial for how to add utility rates to an OpenStudio model using the Xcel Energy Tariffs? I'm not sure how to use this measure other than selecting the default tariffs...
Got it... Thanks...
I wrote a simple OpenStudio/EnergyPlus measure to add the required files. Is there a place to share files on this website?
You could put it on dropbox or something similar and post a link to your measure as an edit to your question. Or better still, you can create a Group on BCL, make the Measure public, and then anyone who looks for Measures inside of the OpenStudio Application or Parametric Analysis Tool will be able to download it directly. Also, if @Lincoln 's answer led you to a solution, please click the check mark on the left side to indicate this.
